he became a chad after and changed his name to Titan

"If I were Metroman, Megamind wouldn't be kidnapping you all the time" Never noticed that little bit of foreshadowing, since Hal was just perfectly willing to kill Megamind the second he made him angry

You missed the part at the end where Hal is in prison after losing his powers

„that was weird for everybody… because you accidentally hugged him instead of me“

1:07 "No no no! That's the best part, it'll just be you and me!" 🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩

0:36 I just realized Megamind ran several people over and you can hear the sound of people banging into the car.

With the rise of the internet, this character and arguably the whole movie aged so well. Like, I can't even count how many people like Hal I've seen both online and in real life.

My favourite part is still the whole city closing in on Megamind to celebrate and cheer, and he pulls out a gun screaming *"GET BACK YOU SAVAGES!"*

Hal became a chad but he couldn’t keep it because he didn’t have the chad within himself

I love it when the villain is a goof no one takes seriously and then becomes the biggest threat possible. I wish films had more villains like that.

“Rented a bouncy house?? Chicks don’t like bouncy houses they like clowns!!” Like what?? He’s a massive child lmao

Kind of incredible how ahead of its time this kind of character was.

honestly they did a really amazing job with hal as an antagonist, i genuinely don't know if i'd expect him to actually be the main villain from his goofy early scenes if i were to watch the movie today without knowing the plot

Misleading title. Hal never stopped being a beta.

It's a touch of genius that Hal's first line is mocking Roxanne's writing. It shows that the problem isn't just Roxanne not liking him---he doesn't actually like Roxanne either. He's just infatuated with the fantasy of her.

I like how the film makes you think he’s just going to be a running gag, and then he gets his powers and you immediately realize shit is about to hit the fan because the worst possible person just got superpowers

I like how Chad Hal still has a double chin.

If he'd started an OnlyFans, he'd be living a better life instead of Prison... Or is it the other way around?

Proof that Hal is The Joker: 0:11

She mentions with Bernard Megamind that she’s more attracted to intellect than looks, so you don’t feel bad about Hal looking like a potato, and when he gets that superhero physique he still has that creepy unsettling demeanor. This movie was brilliant all around

“I wrote that piece myself hal” What sigma hal would say: “I know. Your writing is garbage.” *Mask off intensifies*

Hal is such a funny character from this movie.

2:16 "that was weird for everybody, cause you hugged him instead of me" bro wtf who do you think you are?? i feel even sick calling that dude a bro, like damn, they outdid themselves writing an unlikeable character

I sorta feel bad for Al since the entire premise behind him was being a nerdy, awkward guy who never really accomplished anything, but overall they really nailed the type of guy he's supposed to be, and how he never really addresses the root of his problems as "he himself". Al might actually be the only main character that through the movie does not learn anything to overcome his personal issues: Metro Man's lack of responsibility during his whole life, Roxanne's judgemental behaviour towards others, and Megamind being too stuck in his past and busy with his antics to ever grow up as a person, everybody in the end becomes a better person except him, or at least he's not shown to.

i swear to god im convinced that megamind, barnyard, and gta 5 exist in the same universe at this point

1:09 "No nO No no tHaTs ThE bEsT pArT it'll jUsT bE likE yOu AnD mE"

I like how the original form of the glow-up meme prior to all the layers portrayed Hal as a chad even though he is the biggest simp of all time. EDIT: Okay, I get it, he’s an incel as Titan.

I never noticed this neat foreshadowing, at 2:46 if you look closely there's a book on Hal's bed called best comic book villains ever

I didn't notice the foreshadowing at 2:40 where Hal saying his neighbor had better stuff and then had the "Best Comic Book Villains Ever" book on his bed.

The fact that he hired a wedding photographer for a party he has with a bouncing house in his small apartment I actually wanted to see that if it was in the movie instead of mentioning it

"If I were Metro Man" holy shit that's some good foreshadowing

I just realized at 0:56, he talks about having all this stuff at his house. But later on in the movie we see that he lives in a super small apartment..... The heck was he planning on doing?! 💀🤨

I really appreciate how this movie took attention to how horrible these self-entitled nice guys are, even before it was really called out around 2017

Beta Hal Is The Strangest, Most Awkward Person You’ll Ever Meet. I think he’s the MegaMind of awkward

2:49 "No, he doesn't look quite-" *Ah love mah son, though he*

1:52 if 50 ninjas attacked him there, he probably could've beaten them all up.

Man, puberty hit Carl Wheezer like a bus!

The scene where he calls her "Roxaroo" always kills me. Just a perfect dumb pet name a guy like Hal would think is endearing.

I love how Roxanne's eyes slightly widen upon hearing his creepiness. The first night scene with him still "normal" is probably the moment she realizes how unhealthy and borderline dangerous the situation is.

There is no Easter bunny There is no tooth fairy And there is no queen of England -Hal 2010

"I'd be watching you! Like a dingo, watches a human baby.." Never understood as a kid how absolutely fucked up this line is

Roxanne dodged a bullet by refusing to go to his apartment. Who knew what he'd attempted to do...

0:37 so we're just gonna ignore Megamind commiting several counts of vehicular manslaughter?

it's a shame. maybe not a romantic relationship, but i could see hal being like the chill, reliable nerdy friend and comic relief sidekick character to roxanne if he went to therapy instead if acting on his possessive, sociopathic creep tendencies.

I like how they actually did have a connection. They liked each other as friends and colleagues, hal just pushed it too far.

1:42 "This is the only building and me-"

Say what you want, but at least he cares about space step-mom

“Wrap that child up on Christmas!” -Hal (probably), 2021

1:06 now that's how you save a conversation

“That was like the weirdest part, cause you accidentally hugged him instead of me” bro I can’t 💀

I just realized: I actually kinda want a sequel to Megamind where Hal learns how to stop being a jerk and a loser. But not in an easy or cliche way, but a realistic one. The story shouldn't be about him finding love or whatever, but more about gaining some self awareness and growth. There are probably a lot of people out there like him, and a lot of times they feel too far gone, but we need a lil bit of hope. That story might be too dark, and I don't know how to make it fun. But there's gotta be a way.

Can’t believe I just realized what the “”party”” joke meant

This movie was so ahead of its time.

I love how the only time he was ever self aware was the beginning with "I'll be watching you, like a dingo watches a human baby"

Hal was gonna destroy the city cause a woman wouldn’t date him after he nearly killed her. Dude was a beta on the inside

“Wrap that up and give it to a child on Christmas” *Best quote that Hal has ever said*

"That was weird for everybody, cuz you accidentally hugged him instead of me"

0:11 “He did it boys, he did it, he said it.”

“No no no, that’s the best part, it’ll just be, like, you and me. 😀” 🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩

They really nailed his appearence. He even looks like Jonah Hill.

2:02 My general reaction to Anya Taylor-Joy being cast as Princess Peach in the upcoming Mario movie

"Could this day get anymore fun-tastic?" _[Fucking dies 1.5 seconds later]_

Can’t believe this movie just went from a masterpiece into like one of those average netflix shows.

I just wish adults watched this when it released so we could have a good sequel for the right audience

2:32 What-what does that say on his shirt This man has peculiar interests..

This movie is genius. I feel like it has aged perfectly

Hal deserves to have his own movie like the Joker.

Dreamworks, alerting society about SIMPS since 2010

The fact he’s willing to throw his neighbor under the bus to avoid a robbery proves before his transformation how bad of a person he truly is.

You can clearly tell Hal is desperate for Roxanne and has no self confidence at all. Going after the same woman over and over again, lying to her face in an attempt to impress her and beating himself up over his issues instead of focusing on a way to improve his living situation. After you gain self confidence, you start to not really care if you can get a date or not and you're not as desperate as you were before Before self confidence: "Pleeeaassseee!!! I need a woman!!! After self confidence: "Eh. Who cares if I can't get a date? I'm only doing what I'm doing for myself. If they don't like that, then so be it but I'm gonna continue

If Reddit were a person

Hal’s Shirts : Error 404 Request not found and Game over and Bite me They literally sum up his life lol

Why isn’t this Hal the first part of the “Snotty Boy glow up” meme?

Dude had so many red flags it’s crazy. It’s kind of suppressed by the comedy of it all.

Hal Stewart: Agh! Is this a robbery? because a lady in the hallway has way better stuff then me (Attempt to get sprayed) Agh! (Get hit by Forgive me Stick) (*Funny face shown*)

This man is the definition of a "Nice Guy".

As I child I laugh, as an adult I cringe.

Roxanne was so kind to Hal, so kind to that bastard.

this film is just a masterpiece

1:04 WTF

Hal has all the 7 deadly sins. Lust: He is just a desperate virgin incel that simps for Roxanne, and looks at her with lust, but doesn't care about anything else from her. Gluttony: He's overweight. Sloth: He doesn't do anything to improve his life, and neither makes any effort to be a better person. Greed: He rented a bouncy house and a wedding photographer to try to impress Roxanne just to try and look cooler. Envy: He has envy on Roxanne's partner and Metroman because he can't be like them. Wrath: He gets angry when he gets rejected, and even his anger puts others in danger when he gets his powers. Pride: He's arrogant, and feels superior to others once he gets his powers, and he is a very narcissistic man.

"Could this day get anymore funtastic" *door fucking explodes*

i only JUST realised the "i would watch you like a dingo watches a human baby" line is a reference to the 1980 Azaria Chamberlain incident, bless this film

As a kid, I doubt many of us thought that Hal’s actions were that weird and creepy But nowadays, everytime I see this movie I’m just utterly creeped out by him, like if any guy like him tried anything with any of my three sisters, nah, he’s getting my own forget me stick, only I won’t stop at one swing

They nailed the beta body type perfectly with Hal lol the skinny arms and legs with the fat torso and thumb head

the world shivers when a nice guy loses his temper

2:46 best part

0:04 My face when I forgot to do the laundry and I just heard my parent's car door slam shut:

Bro was chillin at the beginning but than became an L really quick

You forgot when he's dancing in prison

I feel like if this movie took place in 2024, Hal would be a twitch streamer who was part of Andrew Tate's inner circle.

It's crazy how well the actors bounce off one another, but in like a bad way.

Hal is a representation of the average guy on the internet

Hal has some serious Squirrels in his Pants.

Hal is the personification of r/NiceGuys

rewatching this... i never noticed the amount of body language hal has. every time he tries to flirt, he's very in her face, or when he's trying to get her to go get coffee, he is slow-walking. trying to manipulate her to walk with him. or whenever she tries to get away, he moves with her to try and keep her in one place. maybe not body language per say, but i liked the detail.

0:36 honestly, megamind saved Roxanne there.

I just realized that hal has different shirts but with the same circle design on them

At first glance you wouldn’t think this guy is a Lord Shen tier villain.

I'm concerned, if Metro Man is an alien and Hal was accidentally injected with his DNA, is Hal now a half-alien?
